‘Screwed Up Head Case': Joy Reid Attacks Thanksgiving, Gets Slammed

[WIRE] On the eve of Thanksgiving, MSNBC’s Joy Reid went on a tirade against the cherished holiday in which she called it a holiday that erases the "genocide" committed by white Americans.

The comments came in a segment of Reid’s show "The Reidout" that focused in on two recent mass shootings. One of the shootings involved a self-described "non-binary" individual who allegedly attacked a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, leaving five people dead. In the other, a black man allegedly murdered six co-workers, including a 16-year-old boy, at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.

"For millions of Americans it’s a cherished tradition. And as Americans we certainly value those traditions," Reid said of Thanksgiving.

"But it’s also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with inaccuracies, built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn; a simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed," she added.

Reid then accused Republicans of conspiratorially erasing American violence.

"It’s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks, because here’s the secret they want so desperately to keep: We are a country founded on violence," she said.

#7 MSNBC is an absolute lost cause.

At least CNN is somewhat looking like it is poised for change (long, long way to go still, of course).

But that MSNBC (and I don't know who watches it, either) is an absolute cesspool of imbeciles.

#10 Who watches this

Ever fewer viewers. Their ratings keep falling, even as Fox News’s keep rising.

#11 It's not so much that their ratings are falling as their appeal is becoming more selective.
